The possible risk factors of severe or critical illness were investigated with Cox proportional hazards (PH) regression models for univariate and multivariate analyses to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). For the prediction indicators, optimum cut-off points were determined by calculating Youden’s index. The efficacy of risk prediction of severe or critical illness was examined through the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results: A total of 110 older adults with COVID-19 were included, in which 21 (19.1%) patients had severe or critical illness of COVID-19. Multivariable regression analysis showed that CD4 cells and D-dimer were independent risk factors. D-dimer, CD4 cells, and CD cells/D-dimer ratio with cut-off values of 0.65 (mg/L), 268 (cell/μL) and 431 were in the prediction of severe or critical illness of older adults with COVID-19. The AUC value of D-dimer, CD4 cells, CD4 cells/D-dimer ratio, the tandem combination and the parallel combination to predict severe or critical illness of the older adults with COVID-19 were 0.703, 0.804, 0.794, 0.812 and 0.694, respectively.Conclusion: D-dimer and CD4 cells either by themselves or in combination have demonstrated predictive value in risk stratification as well as established the prognosis of severe or critical illness in older adults with COVID-19.Keywords: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, older adults, risk assessment, risk predictionZhang XYZhang LZhao YChen LDove Medical Pressarticlecovid-19sars-cov-2older adultsrisk assessmentrisk predictionGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 15, Pp 2145-2153 (2020)
